12 THE .OREGON-.DAILY: JOURNAL', PORT LAND, WEDNESDAY, : JANUARY &I5,V 1919: SHIPPERS ASKED TO CONTINUE MINIMUM - CAR LOADING RULES Benefits of War, Time Regulation Is Seen and Extension to . Permanent Use Urged. 'Coincident with the withdrawal of food administration regulations govern- in gr minimum carload for licensed com ' modities, local officials of the United State railroad admftiistratlon are send tnff broadcast to shippers an appeal to fountarlly maintain loading: practices established during the war. The policy of the railroad adtninistra i Uon. in regard to car loading is set forth as follows by W. C. Kendall, manager , car service section: ; -. "The heavier loading: of freight cars, til campaign for which has had the . ; valued aid and support of the several de partments of the government, as well as the hearty cooperation of shippers, has been a very material factor in accom plishing the follow ing : ,"1. An Increased car supply. ."2. Lessened congestion of railroads, particularly at terminal points. 3. Improved service made possible i " by '-lessened congestion. Taking full advantage of car carry ; lng capacity means more than the mere ' ' conservation of equipment. It not only saves equipment for freight which could not otherwise move promptly, but also minimizes congestion and makes pos ' slble greatly Improved service. '-'" "If.it be thought that the improved car supply, which exists at the, present . time makes it less necessary to load cars to full capacity It should be borne In .', " mind that a return tovthe old practice V, of light loading would speedily bring , about another car shortage and cones- tlon, by reason of the Increased number of cars required to carry aj given ton-r-.- nage. Numerous shippers have volun- i teered the information that it is their - i purpose to make the fullest use of equlp-"- ment maintaining the record established during the war, regardless of tariff - minimums. .They apparently realize the V advantage gained, which prevents useless ast and a retrn to transportation rtltions which formerly prevailed. , ,drailroad administration will con- ts efforts to closely supervise the - of all commodities, in order that yjemands for service may be promptly J met and we ask the continued coopera Uon of all shippers to that end. Re ports of all instances of light loading '. will be made to the car service Bectlon ; : as heretofore." " Bonanza Farmers Pledge Big Sum, to Get Branch Road -. Klamath Palls, Jan. 15.

Moy Blck Hin, Chinese consul for Oregon, denies reports presented at the recent convention of the State Federa tion of Labor to the effect that Chi nese restaurants and cafes of this city are employihg white girls for the pur pose of overcoming the 'prejudice against orientals. Such statements as these say Mr. Hin, "can have no other effect than to engender race prejudice which does not now exist, and at the same time inflicts upon all law abiding orientals in this state engaged in like business. a great wrong." . M. D. Goon, chairman of Portland Chinese Restaurants and Cafes asso ciation, brands the statement as "ma licious, false and not founded -on one lota of truth." "The statement .that a virtual white 'slave traffic among the girls was be ing managed and abetted by the ori ental proprietors,' is false in toto a fabrication which has its origin in a biased and malicious mind," declares Mr. Goon. The girls employed by the oriental cafes in this city receive the same treatment as those employed by white owners, claims Mr. Goon. "They are treated well, are well paid, cared and provided for. "We court the fullest investigation by the Girls' Welfare League or other leagues of this city or state," said Mr. Goon. "If such charges . had any truth la them I would upon my own initiative present the question to the grand Jury for an investigation," said Mr. Hin "Such charges as have been reported against the oriental cafes in this city IF too thlp, your dress- ; maker or tailor can sop- -ply the deficiencies, but -the OTetfat carry a burden they Cao not conceal.

MANY A HOUSEHOLD has gone to pieces on the rocks of extravagance and carelessness when a budget system and checking account would prevented it. .

And many a business woman has more money at the end of the month under the checking system than she would have if she had had the actual money in her possession.
